Color in Horses.

A good horse is never bad color, it
is said. Still, color has its importance,
especially as indicating temper and pu-
rity of breed. Thus, black colored
horses are of a hot and fiery temper and
disposition the chestnut and brown
bay are reckoned to have strength and
spirit; and the white are always tender.
As to grey, it has been observed that
those which tend the most to black are
stronger than the lighter grays. There
are besides these other colors in horses,
as the roam, which seems to be the off
spring of the bay and white or the bay
and grey. The sorrel and white seems
to be the autnoF OF the aun anu yfcatn
color, and as for those horses which are
called strawberry, they may probably
proceed from coupling betweena bright
grey and bay. There are also some
horses mottle of red Commonly called
piebald, either black and white in spot,
or chestnut and white.
As to the choice of colors in a stall
lion, person of great skill says the dap
pie bay, the white bay, and the dapple
gray are to be preferred; but does not
object to horse of pure black, pro-
vided he has white star and white
foot. In the judgement of others, how
ever, he should be all of one color.
We find in many cases that horses of
bright bay color, with black name
and tail are good, as well as beautiful,
and these have commonly the tips of
their ears and the extreme part of their
legs black. 1t is common for dapple
grey to have white name and tail, with
the former mentioned ex.remities white,
such as the tips of the ears and the ex-
IRENE parts of the legs; but for other
colored horses, except the dun, we sell
domfnd their names and tails of color
different from that of the body; but in
a dun horse the long hair in the name
and tail is commonly black. And for
the most part there is also black stripe
down the back, which is not little re-
markable, as it is not observed in any
other creature except the ass, mule, re-
bra, &c. In horse, indeed, it is only
plain straight stripe; but in the ass
there is always cross stroke of black
over the shoulders, so that if the skin
was to be opened and spread, the black
would exactly represent the figure of
cross. Some pretend to tell us the cross
upon asses skin, that asses were not thus
marked before the Christian era, and
that none are now without the sign, but
upon what good authority they assert
this we do not know.
The produce of white horse and
white mare will be white, and by keep
ing the breed constantly without any in
termixtue of color, the color of the orig
inal may be maintained. So, black
horse and brown mare brown.

THE MARYLAND INsTITUTE-THE FINE OLD
BUILDING IN A BRAN NEW DREss.-Persons who
have passed by the Maryland Institute lately
have been struck by the transformation in the
appearance of the building produced by the re-
painting of the entire structure in attractive and
tasteful coors One Of the officials of the Insti-
tute stated to- NeacS reporter that the renovation
of the building was accomplished by means of
the appropriation recently made by the Mayor
and City Council of Baltimore The work was
done under the personal supervision and direc-
ton Of Mr.. Theodore Oster, inspector of building,
paint used was that manufactured by the New
Jersey Enamel Paint Company, the excellence of
which has become known to the public through
the fact that it has been also used upon the Aner-
lean and San buildings, Fords Grand Opera
House, the Carrollton Hotel and many other con-
spicuous structures. Mr.. Oster was requested
by the president of the Institute and several of
the directors to use this paint when the appro-
priation was made. He was at first disinclined
to acquesce in the suggestion, owing to the fact
that he did not believe in ready-mixed paints
His opposition arose from the fact that he had
experienced the worthlessness of many articles
put upon the market under the name of ready
mixed paints some of which were limitations of
the article suggested by the Institute officials,
and none of which were satisfactory to gentle
man so thoroughly capable of judging the excel
lence of a paint as Mr.. Oster. When, however,
his attention had been called to the buildings
mentioned above, and he had seen a practical
demonstration of the qualities of this paint, he
consented, with his usual courtesy, to the wish
Of those who had urged him to use the article,
and the result has more than equalled the antici-
pations of those who had urged the use of this
paint.
Mr.. G. P. Knight, No. 211 E. Lombard street,
NEW number), who is the general agent here,
stated to NeaoS reporter that he had been SELL
ing the paint since 1871, and that in not single
instance had it failed to give satifacton to his
customers He also stated that sample cards
showing the different colors were furnished
gratis, on application to him by mail or in person.
The numerous large buildings upon which the
paint has been used are an ample guarantee of
its exceptional merit, and it will pay anyone who
proposes to do any painting to consult Mr.. Knight
before having the work DONE

Said P. T. Barnum: 'This State,
this country, and the whole world is in
debted to Henry Ward Beecher and the
life he has lived, and for the wholesome
influence for good which he continually
exerted with pen and press, on the plat
form, in the church, and in his daily
walk and conversation. His repudia-
ton of sombre tokens of mourning at his
death Isl noble Christian example which
the world at this age ought speedily to
adopt. gave directions long ago to
have my family, at my demise, reject
the heathenish practice of hiding them
selves in black Grape, or of wearing any
inky evidences ofsorrow-'no sackcloth
and ashes AS mark of respect for a
departed friend, flower, dark red
ribbon, or some similar emblem, is well
enough. Death is as much part of the
Divine plan as birth. God makes no
mistakes. He only knows the proper
and appointed time for DUST to return to
dust, and the spirit to Him who gave it.
It is blasphemous to find fault with His
doings. He doeth all things right. 1t
is poor Christian who cannot meet
death for himself or others with meek
and resigned mot my will but Thine be
done. >"

l don't think the dams made by beav-
ers show as much ingenuity as their ca
nails. 1t is much easier and safer for them
to carry their food and building mate
rial by water than land. So sometimes
they cut a canal across the bend of
stream to shorten the distance. Some
times again it is cut through the mud I'M
til they reach firm ground for their bur-
rows. Their canals are usually three feet
wide and three deep, and they are some
times five hundred feet long. Any engi-
neer will tell you that it needs a good
deal of skill and ingenuity to decide
where to lay out such a canal as that,
and then to cut it regularly so that the
water shall flow smoothly through.
And the most remarkable thing of all
is that they know how to combine the
principles of the canal and the dam, so
that when they come to an obstruction,
such as the rock in the bed of their stream
they Immediately make dam to secure
the necessarylow of water. Successive
generations evidently work for many
years upon these canals, and 1 can hard
ly think of anything else done by an
animal that shows much continuance.
The home or lodge is always separate
from the dam. Sometimes cord of
wood is used in building one house.
There is an entrance under water like
that ofthe musquash, and sometimes two.
These openings are very neatly made.
The beavers drag their branches and
pieces of bark into the water, and then
take them into the dinning-room by the
hidden entrance. I believe the house is
all dining-room, but it is always neatly
swept. There are not often more than
eight or ten beavers, old and young, in
a single house. Besides the houses,
they like to have burrows in banks, and
spend part of their time in each. The
young beavers live at home for almost
two years before they go to housekeep-
ing for themselves. They are queer lit
tie things, and their cry is like that of
a young child. Mr.. Morgan once saw
a little beaver in an Indians house, and
it was tapping milk out of saucer like
a kitten, and an Indian baby was pulling
its fur. Then there was little cry, and
Mr.. Morgan thought it was the Indian
baby, till he found it was the baby beav-
er.
1t has always been an interesting
question for naturalists how the beaver
learns to build. Does he learn it by
observing his parents, or would he know
how to do it if he were brought up alone.
Button, great naturalist, thought that
it was all learned by observation. So
Cuvier, another great naturalist, took
very young beaver and brought him up
by hand, apart from all his kind
They gave him branches of willow, he
cut the branches and piled them in one
corner of his cage. Then they gave him
earth, which he made into Jumps with
his forefeet, and piled them with the
branches into solid mass. This shows
it was instinct that taught the beaver to
build.

THE NEW JERSEY ENAMEL PAINT.-This arti-
Gle has been on the market in Baltimore since
1871 and is handled by the sole general agent, Mr..
Chas. P. Knight, No. I'll East Lombard street,
new number). It has been used extensively on
public and private buildings and the best testi-
monial as to the general excellence Of the article
is the fact that it has never failed to give entire
satisfaction. None but the best materials are
used in compromising the Enamel Paint and
wherever it has been applied the general excel
lence of the work and beauty of finish show for
themselves, and any person OF experience needs
no better evidence as to its utility and value
These paints all colors, which are shown upon
sample cards-are put up in gallon cans and
mixed ready for use, which is a great advantage
as compared with the ordinary paints in the
matter of handling as well as of applying them.
The Enamel Paint is of uniform quality and Mr..
Knight, the sole agent in Baltimore, handles i'm
mense quantities of it, showing that it is notnew
to the public, but is really stable article, the
demand for it increasing with each year. Many
of the finest buildings in Baltimore have been
covered with this paint, and where properly ap-
piled it has never failed to give entire satisfac-
ton. The residence of H. G. Longnecker, in
Towsontown, has lately had two coats of this
paint applied to it and the manner in which it is
covered and the excellence of the finish speak for
themselves. Those who propose doing any paint
ing are invited to inspect this house and see for
themselves that everything we have said about
the Enamel Paint is facts. We have no hesita-
ton in recommending it.

From the Baltimore "American."
Owing to the want of space, produced by the
great pressure upon our colurans in reporting
the proceedings of the different committees rel
alive to the reunion of the Society of the Army
of the Potomac, recently held in Baltimore, we
have been unable to call the attention Of our
readers and the public generally to the new
spring dress of THE AMERICAN building, except
to announce we had given the contract to Mr.. @.
p Knight, No. I'll East Lombard street new
number). The paint used on the building is the
liquid enamel paint made by the New Jersey
Enamel Paint Company, which has been sold in
this market for fourteen years. and endorsed by
our late Mr. Charles G. Fulton and by many rep
resentative men of our city, such as Mr.. Johns.
Gilman, president of Second National Bank; Mr..
Jacob Hartman, president of the Metropolitan
Savings Bank and Washington Fire Insurance
Company: Thomas j. Myer of Thomas j. Myer
& Co.; J. d. Mallory, of Reuter- & Mallory; Arm
strong, Gator & Co. and many others. The selec-
ton and combination of colors were painted on
a drawing of the building and submitted to Gen.
Agnus for his approval in advance of the work,
and we are most happy to say they have come up
to our expectations and we cordially invite the
public to inspect the same. For seashore work,
which is so very severe on paint, 1T has some
splendid endorsements, and we suggest, Tor the
benefit of our patrons, to write Mr.. Knight Tor
sample cards and testimonials.
